Liberal Australian MP Steve Irons asked that the adult drinking board game Pass Out be banned by the Classification Board of Australia. The Board’s jurisdiction is currently limited to films, video games, publications, music, and mobile phone content.
A Perth man was upset to find the board game in a local flier, listed alongside “children’s board games” (unspecified). He wrote to the MP asking that the game be banned, and the MP agrees, believing that the game encourages binge drinking.

I tend to agree that this game should not be advertised as a game for children. I have to wonder though: What would MP Steve Irons make of the Zombie game “All Flesh Must Be Eaten“?
An australian is trying to ban binge drinking? I never thought I’d see the day. Shameful!
